I am relatively new to android from a blackberry. I have a verizon galaxy tab and I have downloaded ttorrent in the market and when I download movies (so far I have tried avi and mp4 format) and try to view them they do not play with the media player and I do not get an error message it just goes to a black media player screen and doesnt play. I have tried implayer and arcmedia media players in the market and when I try to play the files it plays but with no sound and says I need to download coral player at real.coralplayer.com which apparently is a media player for a comp. Am I doing something wrong or does anyone have any advice on what media player to use. Or if anyone has any recommenda rt ions on apps that allow you to download movies and watch (preferably free). Thanks

Generally i dont encourage piracy so i will assume that you legally own these movies (read forum rules). Bottomline you cant watch this movie until you convert them into friendly format for the galaxy tab.
Follow this guide: http://www.thetechjournal.com/how-to/convert-and-watch-movies-on-samsung-galaxy-tabhow-to.xhtml
It should play just fine, no need off a other player, the stock one is as good and even better then the one's you find at market.
Just be shore that it not have DTS,DD audio, because Galaxy tab can't handle that audio.

Unless the Verizon one is crippled, those files should play just fine as the tab supports DivX, mp3, h264 and AAC among the other things. Could be an audio issue, but honestly i have trouble imagining an avi with an audio stream that's more than stereo. Then again, i've seen some of the weirdest stuff, like an h264 video inside an avi...

I used this workflow to convert some of the Blu-ray rips we have on our HTPC, as well as converting a few SD movies, worked perfectly for my tab. Movies play in stock apps.

From a quick Google, if you are being asked to download CoralPlayer, then the movies you are downloading are not actually usable, and you are being scammed.
What application allows us to download paid movies similar to iTunes? I have an iPad but prefer to use my Tab for watching flicks instead?
Thanks for the info. After further te st ting the only movies that seem to play for me.so far are mp4 movies. I have been using t torrent to dl movies. Anyone else have any other recommended apps through market.

Try installing mvideoplayer and vitalplayer. Those two should play everything else.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome

Dude you were so right...this is by far the best player out there right now! Thanks for the tip!
mobo player is very nice...one fantastic feature is that is sizes the video to the full screen. I was watching avatar on my train ride and the stock video player had it centered and not full screen....finished watching it wtih mobo!
thanks for the tip.
check diceplayer on market (GB required )
you can play 1080p MKV+DTS(or Flac/Ogg)

Here are top 5 Android movie APPs for movie lovers. You can use some of these APP to download or watch movies on Galaxy tab conveniently: " Netflix (free, streaming: US only)", "IMDb Movies & TV (free)", "VLC Direct Pro ($2.86)", "Movie Collection (free, ad-less version for $2.99)" and "GetGlue (free)". In addition, you also can rip DVD TO GALAXY TAB, but you need to consider the issue of legality. Good Luck !
Mobo player is great.
It now has support for subtitles within MKV containers without having to extract them. subtitles are great for foreign movies or for the hearing impaired and anime.
It also supports selecting audio track from within the container file. ie, Eng, JP audio track selection. I see a bright future for this app.

So I have all of my music on my phone from my computer and it only plays the mp3. Most of my music is in Wma format. I've looked for music player apps on the marketplace but none of them are playing Wma. What do I do??

Convert your music to mp3.
How can I do that? Lol I'm a noob
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
just doing a market search on WMA shows me a few players claiming to support the format. If not just google WMA to MP3 convertor, I'm sure there are plenty of those available.
Try this. It's a good program and should do the job. It's called Audacity. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Has anyone found a media playerthat will handle AVI files?
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.
Trying MX Player but getting some force closes. After one force close I had to do a battery pull reboot to get it to wake. On more of those and it's gone.
I do like that it has a screenlock that disables touch screen inputs. Vol remains functional.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.
Most video players in the Market can play AVI. Like dice player, mx video player, mobo, etc.

any player out there will play avi, its 720P MKV with subtitles that are hard to find a player for. After trying all recommended in this thread. The two best and polished player are MoboPlayer by team Mobo and MX player.
My first choice is MX and if it has issues Mobo is a very good backup.
I like MX Player... Been using it with BubbleUpnP to stream all sorts of files from my NAS
I have a few movies on my laptop and transferred one to my phone movie plays but no audio. Movie is a MP4 I tried few different players and codec packs but still no audio.

There are tons of players. One that I use and it's free is MX Player in the Playstore. MP4 should play on most any player. Are you sure you converted with audio?

I second MX Player. I've tried many players and this one is the best. Most of the files I have are MP4 and MX Player plays them just fine.
Thanks guys mx player it is

Hey guys,
Has anyone viewed movies with AC3 sound on the T815Y? I've had this model for a while now and watched a lot of movies on it, but I just recently noticed that I can't watch movies with AC3 sound. I have tried multiple players (VLC, MX player with custom codec), but with all it just freezes after a while. The strange part is that the whole movie freezes. Not just the sound. I also have a S6 edge plus and the same movies play great on it. Does anyone know if this is a problem with this model or if it is just me?
Thanks beforehand.
Try Archos with free codecs. It works flawlessly.
Get the all in one codec pack for MX. It's the best player on the play store hands down.

No issues whatsoever wirh Mxplayer on my Tab S, so the S2 shouldn't have any issues.
There is no better player than Mxplayer. I suggest you ensure you have HW+ hardware acceleration enabled.
